Sergio & Katie || Wedding

I have known Katie since she was a child and her parents even longer, so it was a great honor when they asked me to photograph their wedding. The wedding was held at Mount Hope Church. Mount Hope is huge and they did a pretty good job of filling it up;) It is home base for me so I always know it is going to be a great wedding when I shoot there…. lots of light! The reception was held at the popular Lansing Center! It was a hot sticky day out side but nice and cool inside. The Lansing Center is a great location. It is right on the Grand River in Lansing, Michigan. Lots of wonderful places to photograph couples. Love the Gazebo! Enjoy the photographs.

James & April :: Winter Wedding

James & April got engaged over the Christmas break 2009 and married in Januaryv2010. April went to school with my son Matthew, so I was exited when they called me and asked me to do their wedding. There wasn't a lot of time to prepair, but, the wedding was just as beautiful as some weddings I have done that took a year to plan. I love winter weddings! It snowed most of the day so getting to the church was a little tricky, good thing I have all wheel drive. At the end of the day we went "outside" to enjoy some of the winter wildness!!

I love doing these teaser videos. Photographing Andrew and Calli's wedding was a pleasure. The church was beautiful and the reception at Eagle Eye was wonderful. Enjoy the video!

Gina & Brendan :: Wedding

It was my pleasure to meet Gina & Brendan through Nicole Dungy from Weddings by Nicole. Gina was an MSU Alumni and was coming back to East Lansing to get married. Unlike a lot of my clients, Gina and I communicated through e-mail and several phone calls. We were able to finally able to sit down and plan out her wedding over coffee, about a month before the wedding.

The wedding took place at St. John's Student Center in East Lansing, a wonderful place with the reception at Kellogg Center in the Lincoln Room. You couldn't have asked for a better the day. Gina and Brendan booked us for the whole day so we were at the hotel bright and early to record the both of them getting ready. Deb Martin and her crew from All Tressed Up provided the light brunch for the girls as well the hair and make up for Gina and her bridesmaids. I love having time to photograph a wedding from beginning to end! I photographed Brendan and the guys getting ready, while my assistant Holly photographed the girls.

From the hotel we went to the Church. St. Johns is a beautiful place to have a wedding with lots of natural lighting and a wonderful sanctuary. Brendan's mother was not able to make the trip to the wedding, but she was able to listen via cell phone held by one of the groomsmen!

After the wedding we were able to take time and tour the MSU campus photographing the bridal party at different locations. My favorite location was the Clock Tower! We spent over an hour and a half photographing.... wonderful.

We finally made it to the Kellogg Center for the reception festivities. The first thing I usually do is photograph the cake which was provided by Jeannie from The Cakery, wow simply wonderful. Gina and Brendan wanted to sit among their friends, so they did not have a traditional "Head Table"! I was able to pull Gina and Brendan away from their guess for about 20 mins to do some photographs of just the two of them high above city. I would have to say, some of the best images I have produced to date!

Here are a few photos from that day. Enjoy!
